Newsom’s going to have a lot to answer for. Rick Hilton, Republican candidate for Governor, has released a report that indicates $250 billion in fraud in CA.
here’s a potential breakdown:
Category / Estimated Amount. Context / Source
EDD / Unemployment Insurance / $55 Billion. Confirmed by state officials; includes ~$20B in direct pandemic-identity fraud.
Housing & Homelessness / $24 – $30 Billion. Estimated from the $24B+ spent since 2019 with “no clear accounting” of outcomes, per State Auditor reports.
Medi-Cal & CalFresh / $20 – $25 Billion. Based on “high-risk” eligibility errors and payment weaknesses flagged in 2024-25 audits.
State Contracting & Nonprofits / $15 – $20 Billion. Allegations of “cronyism,” inflated contracts, and grants to political front groups/intermediaries.
K-12 & Higher Ed (Student Aid) / $5 – $10 Billion. Includes “pay-to-play” abuse and millions in “ghost student” bots at community colleges.
Public Pensions & Other Waste$100 – $110 Billion. This “catch-all” remainder includes pension spiking, disability fraud, and systemic departmental waste.
